I just finished building my oven from scratch. I was curing it this weekend & noticed a lot of flies hanging out on the hearth. I have not started cooking yet so there is no food there. What is causing this problem & how can I keep the flies away.

Just wait until you start preparing, assembling, cooking and eating your pizzas and the smell permiates the surrounding area. Then you will really experience some flies.
If you think you have "flies", come to outback Australia to really experience them!
